How do we address the equity gap?

The center’s staff, which consist of one Director and 20 student workers, prides itself on providing comprehensive support to historically underserved students. Each of the student workers employed by the center is current or former LASC students who understand the challenges and strengths that students who access education in south Los Angeles bring with them to the college. We foster motivation by sharing our numerous stories of success and triumph and each staff member serves as a model of how successful students learn and achieve. During the fall of 2017, all tutors received formal training in equity and culturally responsive teaching by 3CSN.
